I think of this guy:
If offered, I bet McPain takes it
McCain is strongly pro-life. I think militant Feminazis would go for Ralphie if McPain were it.
Kerry is also arrogant and doesn't want a maverick! He'll go for someone boring and safe like Gepfart.
worthless arizona ping
I think of this guy:
McCain has a history of personal friendship with the opposition. His loyalty to Morris Udall was legendary. McCain would visit Mo daily in the hospital after Mo was stricken with Parkinson's. It did not alter his voting pattern.
McCain is co-chair of Bush's campaign in Arizona. As senior Senator he is titular head of the Arizona Republican Party. To defect and run with a New England liberal would guarantee an Bush win in Arizona.
McCain would lose influence if he ran with Kerry and won. He would lose even more if he ran with Kerry and lost.
Why would he join with the party that just trashed his crowning achievement, CFR?
If Kerry/McCain won it would leave no line of succession in the Democratic Party and with that, no future.
How many votes would a pro-life, free trading maverick at the bottom of the ticket bring to the Democrats when the alternative is a pro-life, free trading Bush is at the top of the other ticket. How many Democrats would stay home?
I'll take that bet.
"If offered, I bet McPain takes it"
no he wouldnt, he isnt a traitor
